The problem currently is that in 1990 iraq attacked kuwait giving reasonable justification for a military responce. There is no justification now, George bush wants control of the iraqi oil supply. Every country on GB's "axis of evil" list is currently (if they have any sense) negotiating a mutual defence pact against american aggression.
Saddams aim during the gulf war was to unite every muslim country in the world against America, he failed. Now ten years down the line of increasing bad feeling toward America in muslim societies, Saddam stands a much better chance of achieving this.
North Korea's recent actions were timed perfectly to demonstrate that America could not care less about WMD, but will start wars for oil. Do you think the timing was chance or two members of a mutal defence pact working together?.

World peace? LOL! What was in those cannisters the cops found in a London apartment last week? If your idea of world peace means that terrorists are going to be flying planes into office towers, gassing the Tube, and eventually setting off low-yield Iraqi nukes in New York, I say screw it. You can go out there and do your job and not whine about it.

You're saying I should shut up and blindly obey orders Gene?.
"I was following orders" is what the Nazi's said at Nuremberg. Tell Anne Franks surviving relatives that soldiers should obey all orders without question.
